Fishin' Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

It was a wet and blustery day, but that did not stop the diehard fishermen from throwing their lines into San Francisco Bay. Perhaps the fishing is better in such weather?? This fisherman came prepared.

Song Title: Fishin' by Bob Waddell.

Technical: Image cropped, light levels adjusted, a bit of contrast and sharpening added, and some noise reduction.

Hi Jackie, Nice composition. The tree is interesting; it's a little dark, but it almost looks like it's pointing to the water. You've got to love these guys, out there obviously in inclement weather, but they've got to throw that line in the water; there just might be a fish there waiting for them. Still these diehard fishermen provide great fodder for the photographer, who is also out there in the inclement weather looking for that great shot.

Thanks, John

Great shot Jackie, love the title and shots composition.
I have to say the sea looks as calm as it ever could. Certainly not rough enough to fear being washed out and having to make yourself seen. But anyway a great shot, I'm sure a rain coat would have sufficed.
Please see what you think of my recent fisherman post, slightly different but in similar fishing clothing.
Have a good day.
